Bulgarian Executions.

Odessa Correspondence to London News.
Nine. Zelenogorof, the widow Of
Captain Zelenogoroff, who, with eight
others, were shot at Rust chuk on Feb.
22d by order OF the Regents,is a young
lady OF some twenty years. She COM
plains bitterly OF the manner OF the
executions. She said: "My husband
and the rest were sentenced to death
late on the evening of the 21st and
shot at 4 o'clock next morning. The
nine victims were placed before the
shallow, short graves, which were not
more than four feet in length and a.
foot and a half deep. My husband
refused to have his eyes bandaged,
and tore open the tunic OF his uniform
that it might not be riddled, saying
that his coat was guilty ONO treason.
The firing party numbered ninety, and
yet my husband was left unscratched
after the first volley. At the second
and third discharge he was wounded
and fell. Then the officer in charge
advanced to give him the coup degrace
and emptied five chambers OF his re-
volver before the murder of my hus.
band was completed. Then the crowd
rushed in and tore the boots and
clothes from the still warm bodies,
which were pitched into two
small graves and trodden down. My
husbands feet were hacked off sothat
his poor mutilated corpse might be
made to fit the grave. 1t was all very
horrible.
"The dogs came in the night, and
we had to set guardians over the
graves. Subsequently we erected
crosses and headstones, but they were
demolished by the brutal and vindic-
tive agents of the Regents. Now things
are quieter we have replaced the head
stones"

A Wise Young Wife.

Boston Courier: "There," said the
young WIFE, turning from the mirror
to her husband and giving him a sweet
smile, "what do you think of these
bangs, Charles? Do they become me?"
Charles, who was at that moment
engrossed in the task of reckoning up
the total cost of bonnets, bangs, dress
es and so forth, answered with q
clouded brow:
II should think you would ba
ashamed to ask me such question,
Mary. Your vanity is becoming actu-

''Charles she said in a tremulous
voice. IF am vain it is for you. You
would not love me If was slattern
and a dowdy. tbs for your sake that
I try to make myself as attractive
as possible
Having said this she burst into
tears.
Then Charles arose and gathered
her into his arms and kissed her fond
~ and said:
"Your bangs are lovely, dear, and
you are lovely, and If all wives were
as neat and DESTROYS OF attracting the
admiration OF their husbands as you
are there would be a great deal more
conjugal happiness in the world than
there is at present. There, my love.
Now forgive me for my rudeness.'

Two Opinions.

Dakota Bell: Mr.. julius Plugoff, a
democrat of Gosh City, this territory,
was recently appointed to the Office
of clerk OF the district court. OF the
appointment, the Gosh City Peoples
Palladium, a, democratic paper, says:
'The appointment OF Colonel julius
Plugof, of this city, to the honorable
Office OF clerk Of the district court
gives universal satisfaction. Though
Colonel Plugoff is comparatively a
young man, anb recently came to d.
kota, it is a recognition OF the young
democracy in the territory, and de-
clares that the heretofore accepted
belief that man to obtain Office in
Dakota must have moved here before
the war and slept under a gun-weed
and eaten ierked buffalo meat the first
ten years, is dead and buried beyond
the nope of resurrection. Give the
young and vigorous q chance: down
with the old moss-grown and driveling
one-horse politicians whose only
recommendation is that they were
compelled to leave their homes in the
east twenty-five years ago."
Ia it's issue of the same date the
Gosh City Walloper, also democratic,
prints the following:
"Jule Plugoff, the dude politician Of
this city, has been appointed clerk OF
the district court. What are the par
ty coming to in this territory? That
man Plugoff is q tenderfoot and a. car
pet Dagger. He has not been in Dakota
ong enough. to know a wheat field
rom B. jackpot. He would still have
been back in Wiggjeville, DEL, black
ing boots if he had not first got an
appointment in the territory. He is
40 more entitled to the Office than the
man in the moon. Matters have
come to pretty pass if tLe old wheel
horses of the party, those who came
here in the early day, endured the
hardships OF the pioneers life, settled
in the wilderness and made it blossom
as the rose and were democrats when
it meant scorn and derision and no
hope of office; if these, we say, are to
beignored for such importations from
the effete east as julie Plugoff."

s Elsa was taken up the back stair
way by both Mrs. Lund and Arne,
who talked rapidly across her. She
was put in 8 beautiful room, and
young girls came in to get acquainted
with her and giggle. Arne asked her
for that piece of metal which would
redeem her baggage, and he handed it
over to Otto at the door. Before she
understood her position, or was quite
able to lift her eyes and look at all
who wanted to talk to her, the box
which had borne her company from
Svadia was brought in, and Arne told
her the other wedding would be put
off half an hour while she got ready.
Then he drove the merry company
out OF the room, and stood with his
back to the door to keep at bay that
moment all volunteering bride attend
ants.
"Can you be ready in half an hour,
after your long Journey, my darling?"
said ne.

Arne, do not know anything. Who

"Arne Sandstrom. And you will
be married at the same time"
II thought that was what you and
Mrs. Lund said. But who is going to
marry me?'
"Who! am; Arne sandstrom."
II will not do it." said Elsa. s'They
never have two wives in Svadia."
Arne Sandstrom gazed silently at
her, pulled and exploded his cheeks
and bent over, striking his knees with
those acknowledgement hands Elsa
had FIRST noted with such awe. He
roaredss in the fervor OF his laughter.
This American country had in no way
abated Arne Sandstrom as a Morse

ed Elsa.
''But there are so many Peterssens
and Yonsens who take their names
from their fathers Christian names
that Arne changed his to Sandstrom.
1t is very common thing to do
here"
Elsa laughed also. It was so simple
and clear and Swedish she wondered
that the news OF Arne Sandstrom's
welding had caused her even q mis-
giving. She left her chair to swing
Arne's hands while they both finished
laughing.
"But you ought to be ready" he
cried, land not keep the others wait

when Arne got his papers, so there
would be no mistake of names on the

this was Arne Sandstroms wedding;
any man would take Lena Lund who
could get her; Lena was so pretty;
Lena was rich; Lena could sing and
play better than some Anerikanns:
Lena had ten new dresses, and she
was not spoiled.
Elsa bruised her cheek against the
edge OF the second step above her.
She did not know where to 20, and
her money was all spent except the
little she saved by going without food
during part OF her railway Journey,
and she had saved that to buy some
little ornament for her new home
with Arne. She might try to hire her
self out, but how Gould she ever write
back home where such happy news
was expected from her, or how could
she put unendurable anxiety upon
those best friends by not writing at
all? Svadia was SO pleasant, especial
ly in the long nig htless summers.
Good and kind they were to strangers
there; her mother always baked waf-
t1es and carried them with coffee to

Republicans to Blame.

The Connecticut Democrats are try
ing to get submitted to the people an
amendment to the State constitution
providing that a plurality instead of a
majority of the votes cast shall here
after be sufficient to elect State officers.
There is little reason to suppose that
the Legislature, which is Republican,
will consent to give the people of
Connecticut a chance to pronounce
against rule which works so beauti-
fully for the Republican party. The
rotten borough system of Connecticut
insures the Legislature to the Repub-
licans, and the requirement of ma
jority to elect State officers leaves the
State election to be settled by the Leg
islature. The present Governor and
his predecessor were elected in this
way. 1t is the minority which wins in
Connecticut.
New Hampshire is another State
which requires majority at State
elections. Both there and in Connect
icut the rule ought to be. changed, and
ought to have been changed long ago.
Probably there is small hope of the
change, at least in Connecticut, at
present. The rotten borough system
must be smashed before the Republic
ans will give up their advantage.
They are less to be blamed, after all,
than the Republicans of this State.
The Connecticut Republicans merely
refuse to alter and modernize the State
constitution. The New York Repub-
licans fatty and persistently refuse to
obey the constitution of New York.
What to them is obedience to the State
constitution compared with keeping
their grip on the Legislature? What
do they care if Democrats are de-
frauded of their rights? The Repub-
lican bank will hang on to the fraudu-
lent percentage in its favor.
The people of New York and Con-
necticut will sooner or later insist on
fair play.-N. Y Sun.
